H. P. Lovecraft

En ung man reser längs den amerikanska östkusten och hamnar av en slump i den isolerade hamnstaden Innsmouth – en plats som tycks vara bortglömd av världen. Husen står förfallna, gatorna är ödsliga, och de få invånare han möter har något kusligt över sig, något ... inte helt mänskligt. Mannen börjar undersöka stadens historia och upptäcker fruktansvärda hemligheter: om förbund med mörka makter från havets djup, och om det blod som flyter i Innsmouths invånare. Skuggan över Innsmouth är en av Lovecrafts mest ikoniska berättelser – en mardrömslik blandning av skräck, myt och uråldrig fasa. En kosmisk berättelse, där gränsen mellan människa och monster löses upp i havets svarta djup. I svensk översättning av Arthur Isfelt. H. P. LOVECRAFT [1890–1937], född i Providence, Rhode Island, var en amerikansk författare känd för sina skräck-, fantasy- och science fiction-noveller. Båda Lovecrafts föräldrar led av psykisk ohälsa, vilket kom att prägla hans ungdom. Han började skriva tidigt men hade en begränsad läsarskara under sin livstid. I dag betraktas Lovecraft som en ikon inom populärkulturen och anses vara en av 1900-talets mest inflytelserika och nyskapande skräckförfattare, ofta jämförd med Edgar Allan Poe. Denna utgåva är framtagen i samarbete mellan Modernista och Hastur förlag.
